So do you enjoy A Song of Ice and Fire & Game of Thrones enough to collect stuff related to it? From mugs, graphic novels, comic books, t-shirts, alternate covers, etc it has quit the stuff out there. So I decided why not have a thread/topic where people can post images of what they have or write what you have.

Wow you got a good amount of Game of Thrones swag. I only have the books, 2 stark t-shirts, and GoT on blue-ray. Might get a Targ Shirt. But i am really looking forward to the related ASOIAF books that will be coming up in the near future such as A Feast of Ice and Fire

Seven save us! You have a huge collection! Unfortunately, money is tight, so I only have the books, a map of Westeros poster and the distressed Targaryen t-shirt, which was a gift from a dear friend on here. I wish I got the box set with the companion book in it though! I want the coasters, I think I'll look into getting them soon, and I really want a hoodie but I can't decide which one!

I also thought I saw wall plaques on the HBO shop? I wouldn't mind getting one of those! Oh and I have a Stark and a Targaryen poster in my basket, just weighing up whether or not I can afford them :P

ETA: How could I forget? I have a 'The North Remembers' cup, but it's unofficial :devil:

I am looking forward to, after finishing ADWD, getting Game of Thrones and Philosophy and Beyond the Wall. I got the DVD of S1 for my b-day last month as well. I'd also like to pick up a Stark hoodie or Martell if I can find one.

I just have the books and calendars, some of them signed by George. My 2012 calendar is inscribed "To Tom, Master of the Mint". And of course I picked up the boxed DVD set of season 1. Aside from that my collection is unique in that I have the only steel dies and other tooling in existence used to make the Game of Thrones coins! I also have a variety of freaks and trials and errors of the coins... stuff that mostly goes in the melt bucket under the press. (people that visit the mint get to pick something from the bucket... if they get there before I melt them!) The newest coin, the silver Kraken stag of Balon Greyjoy, was just finished today!

As ever, the idea is that carrying small everyday type objects from a mythical place tends to create a sense-of-place in the mind which makes the fantasy seem more real and therefore the experience more enjoyable. I have focused my efforts almost entirely on coins because they are examples of such everyday objects that would be common in the universe of the mythos. And well... just because I always liked coins. My family traveled a lot when I was a child, and all through Europe I was always rummaging through change looking for all the kinds of coins. And they all had a different feel and sound in the hand, so that you could close your eyes and feel the money in your pocket, and know what country you were in. I want to extend that feeling to the mythical realms. Fantasy coins are not meant to be set in a collectibles case and looked at... you should get your fingers on them, and hopefully even carry at least one of them around!

I ordered a few coins from your mint and just got them. Specially liked the FM Coins.
